well one of the first classic rock solo's i learned was hotel california. It's pretty easy. the intro chord picking is great to learn as well. |
|
i need a good song to learn on the guitar, i wouldnt say that im a beginner, because ive been playing guitar for about 3 to 4 years, but im no better than a beginner because ive just been teaching myself. ive been told im good, but i know thay were just saying that. |

I wish I could play the guitar, but I suck at it. It wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that when I have to hold more than two strings with the same finger and one of the strings is the third string, I always end up with a dead note. |
|
ye i hate bar chords aswell, i cant do all 6 strings and i dont think 5 either, but ye i know what you mean, i tend to stick with single strings so normal chords. |

I like the acoustic version of Everlong by the Foo Fighters. It's pretty easy. I also taught myself and have been messing around for 4 years, but I am pretty bad and can never learn a whole song. |
|
i dont really like that song, its too plain, but i dont really like the foo fighters anyway. |

Paranoid by Black Sabbath is a good one. It's a short song, with an impressive sounding solo that's actually pretty easy to pick up on, Iommi's phrasing is really good, so you kind of get a feel for it, and can improv it if you feel it's easier that way. |
|
Wow, 4 years of being self taught and you still can't finish an entire song...? That's more than long enough to learn at least three or four - what's the deal? |

Starry starry night, paint your pallet blue and gray,

"Yesterday" by the Beatles is really easy.. and it sounds just like the actual recording... (I know what you mean, Sandform). |
|
Hahahaha, that's such a bad excuse Sandform. There's so many songs out there that are gorgeous and simple as hell. Hallelujah, by Jeff Buckley for example. Or Let it Be. Making excuses is rookie mistake number one. |

No way.. it's the first song I learned! But maybe it was easy because of the video tutorial thing I used. I'll go see if I can still find it. It's on youtube, and the guy has a website with the chords as well. |
|
I wasn't making excuses...I was just saying that is the reason why I haven't learned any songs yet, well, I learned most of to zanarkand but that was a while ago and I have forgotten most of it. |
|
Well you're just crazy then. Great song to play. |

I think my first songs were ( when I still played guitar actively)Hendrix's Purple Haze, the classic bluessong Hideaway and Santana's Europa. |

Jujutsu is the gentle art. It's the art where a small man is going to prove to you, no matter how strong you are, no matter how mad you get, that you're going to have to accept defeat. That's what jujutsu is.
It sucks that your callouses go away every time you take a prolonged break from guitar. God dammit.. |
|
I have been playing guitar for 5 years now. and for two of those years I played almost excessively and could play the hours in a day away. |
|
ok, by the way, i wasnt really doing much for my first couple of years, then i got a bit more into it, but now im so determined, so im going to try really hard. and by the way, the people who can get the hang of it easy are born with it, im not born with it, i just want to play enough to satisfy myself. |

yeah sandform don't make excuses. it takes time to develop finger strength and callouses. i never started playing well. and when i get bored of learning rock guitar i transcribe some classical pieces. |

7 years playing and though i'm not against playing songs, i don't personally do it. It can be fun to learn but many people learn these songs just to simply show off and it drives me nuts when i see somebody play something thats incredibly easy and without any good technique applied. Though i'd agree there can be some benefits to learning songs, on the whole it can be a waste of time when instead you should try to focus on technique using exercises. |
|
ill try doing that, but in the music i like, barre chords arent used too much, so i wont need to go too far into it, ill practise other things, but thank you for the advise, it should really help. |
